Today will be mostly dry and cloudy with some hazy sunny spells. Temperatures will be around 17 to 19 degrees.

Saturday

"Staying rather wet Saturday morning as that band of rain continues to move across the country in a moderate southerly airflow. The rain will be heaviest along Atlantic coastal counties, and persistent at times. Highest temperatures of 18 to 22 degrees, warmest across the midlands and the east.

Saturday night

"Further showery rain overnight, mainly in the northwest and along the southeast. Very mild and humid with hill and coastal fog, and temperatures not falling below 13 to 16 degrees.
